12 Things to know about me
Are you named after anyone?
No. My mother wanted to give me a not-so-frequent name, because she didn’t want me to be one of 7 girls with the same name in the class. Also, she wanted something that can have a nice nickname. Unfortunately, she didn’t pay attention on length, so my name + my maiden name = very long and many people (teachers, etc) used a more frequent name beginning with “M”.
Do you like your handwriting?
My handwriting is ugly and messy, and doesn’t look like female handwriting. On the other hand, I like it. It looks like my father’s.
If you were someone else, would you be friends with you?
Not sure. I am an ok person, but I can’t get along with people easily. I am way too shy, a bit antisocial and I lack tact.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yes. Sometimes way to much.
What is the first thing you notice about people?
The shallow, or not so shallow answer?
The shallow answer is: hair. It’s the first thing I notice on people, specially male people. It’s stronger than me and I can’t help it.
Not so shallow answer: Something- not sure how to define it- something that tells me if I could get along with this person or not. I am not a good judge of character, but I can sense jerks, and people who think they’re waaay better than the others. On the other hand, they sense me, too. I am hardly a person who can make a good impression and get a long with people easily. I don’t do that on purpose.
Least favorite thing about yourself?
The thing that makes me panic about everything.
Favorite smells?
Ocean.
Favorite sounds?
Birds in the morning, waves, deep male voices, crickets in summer nights, bass guitar.
Hair color?
Dark brown. Used to be black when I was a kid.
When was the last time you got a haircut?
A few years ago. I don’t cut my hair.
Eye color?
Brown, with little yellow spots. Not sure if they could be considered hazel.
Do you wear contacts?
No. I used to, but I can’t afford them at the moment. I wear glasses. I am very nearsighted.
What book are you reading now?
Toni Morrison’s “Jazz”. Again. One of my favourite books.

You’re so lucky about your name. My name was fashionable in the 80’s so… I studied with loads of Marianas in the class.
Ha! I found someone like me!! My boyfriend always scolds me because whenever a man with long and beautiful hair passes by, my eyes and neck follows him. lol I’m what we call here in Brazil, a “Mary-Shampoo”. lol

People often called me by your name. It wasn’t as popular as Marija, but it was people’s second choice for girl name starting with “M”.
I know I should not objectify men or create some kind of hair fetish (and I don’t, I swear!), but I can’t help noticing men with beautiful, preferably longish hair.

Mira, i don’t mean to insult you but i saw your comments on Abgoned’s blog and after looking at your picture, I had to laugh. I dont think in million years you could get a man that looked like Paul Newman or Tom Welling. You’re over weight and bad looking. You’re a typicl ugly girl who stalks the internet all day.

Oh, my… Is that because I wear glasses? It’s gotta be it.
Like I said elsewhere, I am married to a man who is better looking than Newman or Welling (at least to me, which is the only important thing), so it’s not like I care what people think about my physical appearance.
If someone has a problem with my preferences that’s another thing.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

I came across your page and my eyes directly led me to this. I just love reading these little surveys.
And yours was a fun little read!
& I’m VERY nearsighted too, FORTUNATELY, my parents pay for my contacts. What can I say? I’m the average 18 year old. There’s not much I can afford.
@Johhny The gal is hot so back off.
Have a lovely day!

@ Iva Thanks! And thank you for visiting my site!
@ Yoira My mother used to pay for my contacts. Now I have to think about my budget, so no money for it. I am used to glasses anyway.
